What else can I help you with?
When is the AU found?
The AU (Astronomical Unit) is a unit of measurement used in astronomy to represent the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, equivalent to about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. It is constantly used in various astronomical calculations and is found in scientific literature related to space and celestial bodies.
Which planet in the solar system is one astronomical unit from the sun?
It is the earth that is in orbit one astronomical unit (AU) from the sun. That's where the AU came from. One AU is the mean distance from the sun to the earth. A link can be found below.
What belt of these is found between Mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids. There are many thousand in the Main Belt that occupies an empty orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The largest asteroid, Ceres, has been classified as a "dwarf planet" and contains about 1/3 of the total mass of asteroids in the Main Belt.
An object made of rock or metal that orbit's the sun?
This description matches the characteristics of an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky or metallic objects that orbit the sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some asteroids are also known to venture into orbits closer to Earth.
This is found in between mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids are found orbiting the Sun in between Jupiter and Mars. So, the answer is "the Asteroid Belt".

Asteroid's revolve around earth in an area known as the asteroid belt?
True... the asteroid belt can be found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What is the distance between asteroid Belt and the sun?
This is known as the Asteroid belt. Its mainly smaller bodies, but there are a few big asteroids in there also. The biggest object there is known as Ceres. Its about 1000km in diameter, and now classed as a dwarf planet.
What is the probability the asteroid 99942 Apophis will strike earth?
The answer to this can be found in the links I will place below.

What is a layer of iridium deposited all over earth?
The layer of iridium found all over Earth is known as the iridium anomaly. It is believed to have originated from a large asteroid impact that occurred around 66 million years ago, leading to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. The presence of this iridium layer is one of the key pieces of evidence supporting the theory of an asteroid impact causing the mass extinction event.
What belt of these is found between Mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids. There are many thousand in the Main Belt that occupies an empty orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The largest asteroid, Ceres, has been classified as a "dwarf planet" and contains about 1/3 of the total mass of asteroids in the Main Belt.
What is the region between mars and Jupiter where many rocky objects are found?
The region between Mars and Jupiter is called the asteroid belt. It is a vast region in our solar system where numerous small rocky objects, known as asteroids, orbit the Sun. The asteroid belt is located roughly 1.9 to 4 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun.
What is asteorite?
Asteorite is not a word found in the English language. The closest I can come is asteroid which is a rock or boulder orbiting the sun along with millions of others between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What was the smallest asteroid ever found?

Where do ateriods occur?
Asteroids can be found primarily in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some asteroids also exist outside of the asteroid belt, such as near Earth or in other regions of the solar system.
Where are asteroid found?
in space
